FOREWORD

The information contained in this bulletin was submitted by
Mr. Thomas Sheldon Reynolds as a thesis requirement for the degree
of Master of Arts. As the title indicates, it contains information
concerning the status of school transportation in Kentucky in
1935-36. After having examined, in a general way, the contents of
this thesis, it occurred to me that it contained information which
would be of interest to all people of this Commonwealth concerned
with the transportation of school children I have, therefore,
secured the consent of the author to publish it as an official bulletin
of this Department. I think both the author and Dr. Lee Francis
Jones, under whose direction it was prepared, are to be commended
in securing this type of information. I am, therefore, ordering it
published as an oflicial bulletin of the Department of Education-
I recommend it for your careful consideration.

H. W. PETERS,

Superintendent Public Instruction.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The writer Wishes to express his appreciation of the coopera-
tion extended him by the county superintendents of Kentucky While
making this study. He especially appreciates the generosity shown
him by Gordie Young, Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion, who furnished him with much valuable material and informa-
tion and made it possible to get a one-hundred per cent reply to the
questionnaires sent to the county superintendents. He is greatly
indebted to his Wife, Edith Pagan Reynolds, who assisted in as-
sembling data, reading manuscripts, and encouraging him to finish
the study. He also desires to express his appreciation to Dr. Lee
Francis Jones, Head of the Department of Education at Western
Kentucky State Teachers College, under whose direction this study
has been made.

Chapter I
INTRODUCTION

Kentucky is now, and will long continue to be, a rural state.
The rural children must be educated in standard schools; this is
impossible with a one- and two-teacher school system. Large schools,
where well trained teachers are provided, and where teachers are
not overloaded with classes, must be maintained. As sparsely
settled as Kentucky is in her rural sections, it is impossible to main-
tain large schools within walking distance of all the children.

Consolidated schools must serve large areas, and some people
will of necessity live a long distance from school. This fact should
not impair the chances of children getting the training they need
for life. They cannot walk to school, so they will have to be trans-
ported either at their own expense or at public expense. It is easy
to detect the difficulties that would arise if each family were to
furnish its own conveyance. The logical step is for the community,
as a whole to assume the burden of transportation. An activity
should be supported by public taxation, if that activity can be done
more efficiently at public expense than at private expense. The
transportation of children to school at public expense is now gen-
erally accepted by the best educational authorities as a function
of the state school system.

In Kentucky the transportation of school pupils has grown from
a very unimportant part of the school work, a few years ago, to one
of the most important functions of the schools today. Almost all
the counties in Kentucky are planning for transportation in the
near future. The success of Kentucky’s consolidation program is
dependent upon the success of the transportation of pupils. Unless
adequate transportation is provided the consolidated school will be
a failure.

Transportation is a very expensive school service. According
to federal figures, approximately three per cent (3%) of the total
current expenditures for schools in the United States (1927-28) was
spent on transportation.1 The cost of transportation today would
probably be a much larger per cent of the total expenditure for/J
schools due to the growth of the consolidation program. In the
county districts of Kentucky 6.2 per cent of the total current ex-
penditures for schools for the year 1935—36 was spent for trans—
portation. In this progressive movement we must be conservative.
We cannot bankrupt the school systems with too extensive programs
of transportation. School bus routes should be planned only where
needed, and should be as economical as possible.

The major purpose of this study is to determine the status of
school transportation in Kentucky, with the hope that many of the
local problems, conditions, and needs may be discovered, and if not
solved, show the need for their solution. The State Department of
Education of Kentucky, with Assistant Superintendent of Public
Instruction, Gordie Young, as chairman of the committee on trans-
portation, has set up a standard program of transportation for
Kentucky.2 The writer believes the control and regulation of School
transportation by the State Department of Education is very desira-
ble from an economical standpoint. This is shown by results pro-
duced in other states where transportation is controlled by the State
Department of Education. In Indiana the cost of school transpori
tation has been greatly reduced by close supervision and regulation
by the Indiana State Department of Education.3 It is hoped that
this study will be of aid to the Kentucky Department of Education
in working out its program of supervision and regulation for school
transportation. It is also hoped that it will be of help to county
school superintendents. Each county superintendent in the state
should have information concerning transportation in other coun-
ties of the state, so that he may have some means of measuring the
efficiency of his own system.

In making this study, questionnaires were mailed to each of the
120 county superintendents in Kentucky. The questionnaire made
was designed to ’secure county summaries of policies, methods of
transportation, number transported, cost, equipment, regulations,
administrative set—ups, etc.

Chapter II
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROBLEM

 

It may be said with some certainty that transportation of school
children is a necessary accompaniment of school consolidation. It
is relatively easy for school boards and school administrators in
times of financial ease gradually to accede to request for expansion
of transportation service and to spend increasing amounts of money
for the service. It is not always easy in the face of economic crises
suddenly to discontinue sections of the school transportation serv-
ices to which patrons have been accustomed and thereby reduce ex-
penditures. It is not always easy to tell whether a proposed ex-
tension of transportation service will be financially justifiable. But
in every such problem the foundation for any change in policy or
in methods of financing the system and in operating it economically
is provided by the facts as to what the system actually costs.

The facts 011 cost are always needed. In times of economic de-
pression the need is doubly great. School patrons and school ad—
ministrators alike wonder whether the cost can be reduced or not.
School administrators in one part of the state wonder whether or
not it costs more or less to operate transportation systems in other
parts of the state where roads are different and where people are
distributed differently.

School boards who enter into contracts with private owners of
conveyances would like to know whether or not the price paid is
fair or excessive. School boards that own and operate their own
conveyances would like to know whether small busses or large
busses are more economical, whether long runs or short runs are
more economical, and whether in the long run it is best to own
transportation conveyances at all or to contract with private owners
for the service needed. These are questions which make the cost
phase of school transportation significant. Data reported in this
Study will throw some light on these questions, but will not settle
them completely. These problems demand continuous and extensive
study. The present report may add facts of importance to the
general problem.

Table II shows the percent of increase in the number of busses
in 96 counties in Kentucky for 1933-34 to 1935—36. The table shows
the per cent of increase in county-owned busses to be 59.6; in pri-
vately owned busses to be 58.6; and in the total number of busses in
operation to be 59.2.

The number of busses in operation was taken from a question-
naire mailed out in 1933-34 by the Kentucky State Department of
Education. Transportation has probably increased more in Ken-
tucky than is shown by the increase in the number of busses, the
reason being that present-day busses are larger and haul more
pupils than did busses purchased a few years ago.
